Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client (* this is important for helping solve problems) ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you. To aid helpers in solving download/upload problems, LimeWire and Frostwire users must specify whether they are downloading a torrent file or a file from the Gnutella network.
Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

You have bought a scam version of LW. Aaron's already told you that here
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthread.php?t=43959
Pro costs $18.88 & includes 6 months of free updates & email support.

LW can't help you. You bought Pro from a scam site 2 years ago. End of story.

I think your the one trying to scam me!! What the hell are you people so evasive about giving out a phone number for? I didnt buy anything from a scam site unless of course your admitting that Limewire in and of itself is the scam. You must have some kind of customer service number that people can call in questions to, call me old fashioned, I like to actually talk to a human being when I have a problem. And how is it that you can tell me Limewire cant help me when its limewire Im having the problem with?

You said that you paid $49.00 for LW...therefore, you didn't buy from the official site & so you must've bought from a scam site.

So you see...the guys at LW can't help with versions of LW that were not bought from the official site.

People who do buy from the official site are entitled to email support & free upgrades for 6 months. Six months. I don't work for LW, but afaik there's no customer support phone number. Even if there was, it wouldn't do you any good because you didn't pay LW for your version. You paid someone else, a scammer. Not LimeWire.

So get over it.

This is probably the reason that Limewire has no customer support phone number...

Get over it my ***, I said in my original post that I paid 49.00 TOTAL. I paid the normal 18.00 fee, but a short time later I paid for un upgrade Turbo or something like that because it was so slow. I also said that I thought the total was 49.00, I'm not positive the EXACT dollar amount. The point being that I bought it through the normal limewire service and not a scam. All I was asking from you all was for some help not some lazy way out cookie cutter answer. Obviously asking that was asking for too much. As far as there being no telephone number, give me a break.

Please read this slowly...so that it sinks in.

LW basic is free.You don't have to pay for that. It costs nothing.

LW Pro costs $18.88. LW Pro is the one that gives you a turbocharged connection. There is no upgrade from there. None. Zero. The most that you will ever pay for LW Pro (the turbo one) from the official site is $18.88. No more than that. Not one cent more. Ever.

If you paid $49.00 in total, or $40.00, or $45.00, or $37.00, or any amount greater than $18.88 then you were scammed. You paid someone else for your version of LW. You didn't buy from the official site.

Whatever, you win...I was scammed You'll understand my confusion I hope. If I was scammed I wouldnt expect to receive service for the last two years with no problem. In my way of thinking if I was scammed they would have taken my money and I would have received nothing in return, that was not the case. I still do not understand however if I was scammed that evrything about my service was identical to a "normal" limewire subscriber. Also, as I stated earlier, I guess I am just stuck in the dark ages I simply like to speak to a human being to resolve an issue, but anyway, whatever, I was scammed.

If you have so much faith in the people you bought LW from then you should be able to go back to them for your "lifetime" service (or whatever you paid your money for).

However, you did not pay your money to the LW Org. and so you are not entitled to anything from them. Which, if you think about it, is quite reasonable because they only charge $18.88 for LW Pro so why should they dilute their profit margin by supporting the stolen or pirated copy of LW which you bought?
